the last line is not really needed

there are two ways to process the mp graphics:
(1) at run time:
--- needs the changes in texmf.cnf that you already did
--- needs a couple of lines in your local cont-sys.tex (see cont-sys.rme)
here you have to give tex permission that you want to enable run time
processing, and tell context that you did; when set up all right, btex-etex
should work
(2) between runs
--- either run texexec --mptex yourfile-mpgraph.mp
--- or better, use the --automp switch
in this case, texexec will analyze the files and determine if and how to
orun mpost (using the metafun format and calling tex if needed in order to
resolve btex-etex)
Here i have set (1) and run realtime in most cases, but when i have many
graphics, i say --automp
